Artfully Sent Reindeer Card Piecing and Freebie

Happy Thursday crafty friends,

Hope you are having a wonderful day. Today I am showcasing another project I created from the fun and ON SALE….Artfully Sent cartridge.  I have been having a ball working with this fun cartridge in conjunction with the Cricut Explore and Design Space software. So here is what I came up with.

Okay I just have to insert something here…trying to get pictures of this project has LITERALLY been like PULLING TEETH!!!! First I took pictures with my camera…and my card wouldn’t read in my computer!!! I could use is in my camera, but my card reader in my laptop wouldn’t pick it up….UGH…spent about 45 minutes trying to get that to work. So I finally gave up and then turned to my phone. Took photos again and then tried to message them to myself…and I kept getting a send failure notice…UGH. Then lastly, I tried “emailing” them to myself….FINALLY….SOOOOO I apologize, these pics aren’t the best quality but I think they will work

Here’s a look at the completed card. I used some green cardstock for the base. The base with the HO HO HO is a cut in the Artfully Sent cartridge. I used the Design Space software and my Artfully sent cartridge to create this adorable little reindeer piecing.

Here’s a closer look at the stamped sentiment. The frame and the sentiment are both also in the Artfully Sent bundle. I used my Cranberry Ink Pad to stamp the frame and sentiment. The tag is already in the Artfully sent cartridge too.

Here is just a slight side view to show that I used a little foam tape to give the reindeer piecing and the sentiment a little lift. I finished off the card with a little bow. I also added some Gold Glitz stickles to his little wreath to jazz it up. The papers I used were once again from the DCWV Evergreen Stack.

These are the four special design space and artfully sent files I will be sharing with those that purchase the bundle through my link!

Artfully Sent Hippo Treat Box & Freebie

Hello crafty friends,
In case you missed it, I wanted to make sure you knew that CTMH is having a great Cyber Week Sale! From now through the 4th. Of special note is the Artfully Sent Cartridge Bundle!
It is an unheard of 25% off!!! This is a fantastic cartridge! I will be sharing projects for the next few days that showcase this wonderful cartridge. two days ago, I showcased the Winter Scene card and shared the design space file. You can pick that up on my blog post HERE. So here is what I created for today!

I thought this little treat box turned out adorable. The silly song kept playing in my head as I was creating this. I started by using the Design Space software. I started editing shapes available in the software and in the Artfully Sent cartridge to create this little guy.

Here is a more angled shot to show his dimension. I was able to fit a little bag of Hershey's kisses in the box. I simply tied it with a bow and added the fun little tag I created. I used my pebbles chalks to chalk around the edges to give the pieces just a little dimension. I also used my Chalk Marker to create the white parts of the eyes.

Here is just one more look at this fun little guy. It is the perfect size for your kids to give to school mates. Holds just enough candy. Not too much that other moms won’t hate on you…lol!

So for my freebie today, I am sharing the fun little tag set I created. There are four different tags in .png and .jpg format.

Hello crafty friends,
Can you believe it is already December 1st?  I still can’t believe how FAST this year went. Just about everyone I talk to feels the same way. Time is just speeding by!
I have had SO MANY changes this year and my crafting has had to take a back seat, but as I look to 2016, I hope that I will be able to get back to some crafting and doing and sharing more.
Every year for the last four years, I have had a “form” of a 25 days of Christmas event. Some years were much bigger than others. While I wasn’t able to plan anything for this year, I still wanted to share some of the season with everyone. So I will be sharing projects that show case the holidays. I will also be sharing what the PCW designers share too. So be sure to sign up for my newsletter as well as head over to the PCW blog and follow there too!

Last year I created this pretty card using the Artfully Sent cartridge for my card base. I also shared a how-to video for coloring with some of the wonderful Shin Han markers sold by CTMH too.
